One of us would walk her, another would feed her ,then there were baths, playing catch and many other games . Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破) one of Dads shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl.” She looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes. Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us.People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course shed let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when wed be out walking and a small child would e over and pull on her hair. She never barked (吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.

The study involved 61,057 Swedish women who answered a questionnaire about their diets and then were tracked for an average of 15 years through 2014. During that time, 301 women developed ovarian cancer. Those who reported drinking two or more cups of tea a day were 46 percent less likely to develop the disease than women who drank no tea. Drinking less than two cups also appeared to help, but not as much. The researcher did not break out the results by tea types, but most of the tea drinkers consumed black tea. Both black and green tea contain polyphenols-substances thought to block cell damage that can lead to cancer.Their study was published in Mondays Archives of Internal Medicine.“If these findings are real, theyd be important because ovarian cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in women,” said Margi Mc McCullough, a nutritional expert at the American Cancer Society. Dr. Julie Buring of Harvards Brigham and Womens Hospital, who studies chronic（慢性的） diseases and cancer, said that factors other than tea drinking might explain the results, and that the tea drinkers may have been healthier than the other women. “Certainly the idea of exploring agents or lifestyles that would make a difference on ovarian cancer would be very timely and important,” Buring said, “My concern is with these kinds of studies, that people who drink two cups of tea daily are different from people who dont in ways that go through their whole lifestyle.” Ovarian cancer is diagnosed in more than 20,000 U.S.women yearly. On average, U.S. women face about a 1-in-58 chance of developing the disease. It is hard to detect（发现）early because its symptoms can be vague. 26. Which is the main idea of this passage?A. New findings about tea drinking. B. The prevention of ovarian cancer.C. The treatment of ovarian cancer.D. The more tea you drink, the healthier you will be.27. According to the discoveries made by the Swedish researches, _A. Drinking only one cup of tea may not reduce the risk of developing ovarian cancerB. The women who dont drink tea will develop ovarian cancer.C. Drinking tea is probably good for ones health.D. The women who drink tea will never develop ovarian cancer.28. Which word has a similar meaning to the underlined word?A. found B. valuable C. seen D. unclear C To have a positive attitude means to deal more easily with the daily demands of life. It brings optimism into your life. If you choose to have a positive attitude towards life, it will bring positive changes into your life and makes you happier, brighter and more successful. With a positive attitude you see the bright side of things. It is certainly a state of mind that is well worth development and strengthening. And only you can do that, no one else. Have you ever heard the expression, “Your attitude is your altitude”? Its really true. Attitude goes a long way in being successful. We all have worked with people with a bad attitude and with people with a great attitude and did you have a preference of which person you would prefer to work with? Of course you did! Attitude is not determined by conditions, but by how we respond to conditions. Its how we react towards a situation and not the situation itself that determines our attitude. The attitude we choose to face our challenges will determine our success or failure. To have a positive attitude about everything is really beneficial and will make you relaxed. Negativity takes lots of energy out of you mentally and physically. But by being positive about life in general, you could achieve a whole of more. When you have a positive attitude you naturally attract people who have the same attitude as you. If you are happy, you attract people who are happy to you. People tend to shy away from those who carry a negative attitude. It doesnt mean that you will not have disappointments or challenges in your life, because these are inevitable( 不可避免的) whether you carry a positive attitude or not. But the way you deal with those challenges determines what is your attitude. Your attitude is your message to the world.29. What does the first paragraph mainly want to tell us? A. The state of mind is important. B. You make the best yourself. C. Attitude brings you pleasure. D Your attitude is your altitude.30. The underlined expression “goes a long way” can be replaced by_. A. takes much time B. is very useful C. gets along with D. lasts a long time 31. If you have a positive attitude towards life, you will _.A. have no challenge in your life B. be always successful in doing thingsC. never meet with anything discouragingD. still be faced with some troubles in lifeDWanted, Someone for a KissWere looking for producers to join us in the second of London 100FM.

When you start fighting with a friend, it may feel important that you “win” the fight by proving youre right and he is wrong, or by making him be the first to apologize.37.Stop thinking about your pride. You may have heard the expression “ His pride stood in the way”. It is usually used to describe a person who is so determined to be “right” that he lets an opportunity for happiness pass him by forever. 38 Remember: as time goes on, we usually forget who was right and who was wrong in a disagreement, and only remember the sadness of losing a friend.Take the first step. Are you sick of fighting? Do you think this fight is just not important enough to ruin your friendship? 39 You dont have to take full responsibility for starting the fight, or even say that your feelings were wrong. But you should find something you did or said thats worth apologizing for. Maybe youre sorry that you let the fight go for so long, or that you overreacted to something your friend did. If you say youre sorry, its like an invitation for your friend to do the same.40.A.Then try to be the first to apologize.B.Sometimes, though, they can be difficult to say.C.Dont let this happen to a friendship you care about.D.Its not about apology to make up with friends after quarrellingE.Once youve both said it, youll both feel a million times better.F.
